Pretty in pink.....OR....Can you see me now?

My Mommy doesn't like pink, something about it being too girly or something. However after months of being asked if I was a boy or girl, Mommy resigned to the fact that a little girl should wear pink at least some of the time; although she tries to dress me in purple mostly!! Anyhow I don't mind and the other day I was in pink from head to toe. Mommy just had to take a picture of her little girl!
I also have found a good hiding spot at Grandma's house. Just the right size for a little girl. It's a good thing that I'm not claustrophic!

I thought since I could fit in Grandma's bookcase I could try to fit in any tight spot I find. However, our TV stand at home is much, much, much smaller and I just don't quite fit, even though I tried the other night until Daddy told me I had to stop.I love music. This next video catches me dancing, playing piano and singing! M&D think I am a pretty talented little girl.

Fun in Rocky Mountain National Park

On Saturday I got to go to 2 parks. In the morning M&D took me up to RMNP to play in the snow. We were planning to go snowshoeing, but the trails were pretty packed down. So we just hiked some, went off the trail were there was a little more snow to go "sliding" and make my first snow angel.
When we got home, I took my cousin (who just moved down the street from me) to the neighborhood park. Notice the difference in temperature 40 miles and 3000 feet of elevation make!!
I was pretty wore out that night after all that playing and fresh air. But it was a well-worth the fun!
Last week we had a heavy frost Saturday night and beautiful blue sky Sunday morning. The church steeple against the blue sky, with a frost covered tree in the background just made such a striking contrast. I thought you would enjoy seeing the beauty in God's creation also!

Fun with straws

Last night, M&D took me out for supper. I had a lot of fun, especially when Daddy took his straw out. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the fun I had!

Snow fun!

It recently snowed and it was so pretty just hanging on the trees that I just had to have Mommy take a few pictures. As much as I like the snow, it is nice to have a nice warm car to ride around in!




Since it is too cold to water our new tree everyday,Mommy sometimes uses the leftover driveway snow around the tree to melt slowly and help water it. So the other day I was helping her shovel snow; until my boot fell off!!!




Mommy even got a chance to go skiing for a few hours with a friend. It was a beautiful day; no wind and plenty of snow on the ground. I stayed home with Daddy and he took me swimming, so I think all of us had a pretty good day!

Colors and things

I am learning my colors. Right before Christmas I was eating some Fruit Loops and Mommy asked me which color was my favorite and I said, "Red" and grabbed a red one. Since then I point to different colors, but tonight Mommy noticed me purposely putting the same colors together when I was playing with my Legos.

Notice at the end of the video when I have to get the yellow one next to all the other yellow ones.
I also have a new bath towel. I have mostly outgrown the pink one Grandma gave me (remember how cute I looked in it!!!), so now I have a green frog one. I was showing off to Daddy after my bath on Sunday.

I love to ride my horse every night. Sometimes I wiggle away from Mommy during my diaper change, just so I can ride. Mommy just had to take this picture of me. Reminds you of a certain Lady Godiva, doesn't it???!!!! (for those of you who don't know your folklore--she was the Lady of the Manor who rode through town on horseback naked to protest her husband's taxes in Olde England).
Mommy just had to add this video of me, since I am very talkative in it. Don't ask Mommy what I was talking about, because I kept it a secret from her!!

SuperBowl Party

On Sunday, we had a SuperBowl party. Most of Daddy's family came over, two couples from church and one of Daddy's co-workers, so we had quite a full house. Ususally Mommy and Daddy attempt to keep me "quaratined" to the floor that they are on, but with so many people the door to the basement was left open so I could climb up and down the stairs and pretty much go wherever I wanted. I was chasing after my cousins; running all over the house, until they stopped to watch a movie! I also very much enjoyed all the food. Mommy thought there was way too much, but honestly didn't have too many leftovers so I guess it was just about perfect. Anyhow, M&D set up the card table to put all the snacks on. The card table was just the right height that I could go up to it, reach my arm up, feel around a little and grab whatever I wanted. So Mommy had to make sure all the food on the edge was food I could have. I made Mommy laugh a few times when I went to get crackers and "toppings"--everyone else put cheese or meat on them--but I decided I wanted to make mine a carrot&broccoli cracker. Mommy later found quite a few carrots around the basement, ones I had taken a bite or two out of, and then decided I didn't want it anymore.
Earlier in the week I had to get ready to cheer. Mommy thought I looked like a little gangster with my baseball cap on and a medal around my neck. I didn't stand still long enough for a great picture, but here are two to give you an idea.
